Please enter your email address here so I can match
your responses from this questionnaire to your past and future responses.
You will also be contacted when the results of the study are ready and
when there are future questionnaires to participate in. You can opt out
of these mailings at any time. This study is noncommercial and your email
address will be kept confidential.

Instead of trying to answer as many questions as
possible, browse through the questions and only answer the ones that
you are most interested in answering.

The following questions are meant to be fairly open-ended,
so if you want to discuss or add something tangential to a question,
feel free to do so.
Also, when multiple questions are asked at the same, do not feel
the need to answer all of the questions. Simply answer the ones that
are most relevant to you.

Your entries may be quoted anonymously with your gender and age
indicated in a report/presentation online, a searchable database,
or in print. By submitting one or more entries below, you are giving
me permission to reproduce your story in the formats mentioned.

1) Tell me a little about how the relationship
developed in the game. How did your characters meet? When did you
know you had romantic feelings for the other person? How did the
two of you let each other know about those feelings? What was that
moment like?

2) When and how did you two decide
to meet in real life? What were the steps that led up to that? Tell
me about that first meeting in real life and what that felt like
and how that meeting unfolded.

3) Many people feel that online
relationships are necessarily superficial and dangerous. Do you think
the online game environment made it easier or harder for you to get
to know the other person? Were there any surprises when you met them
in real life for the first time?

4) How did that relationship compare with
other relationships you've had offline? Do you think you would
have had a relationship with this person had you met them in real
life? Are the two of you still together?
